Report on Coquitlam River , i | ly
21 1972

On February 16th Alderman Bewley, representing the District of

Coquitlam, and myself, held a meeting on the Coquitlam River. I submit the

following agreed proposal for endorsation by this Council. A similar
proposal is being submitted tonight to the District Council.

"That a Committee consisting of Alderman Bewley and Alderman Meyer
be established to provide recommendations for improvement of water quality
in the Coquitlam River, which is currently in an unsatisfactory state, and
for gravel operations in general in the two municipalities. This Conmittee
will draw upon technical staff in the tro municipalities as required, as well
as on other available expertise. It would report back to the two Councils
upon completion of its mandate."

For Council's further information, it is envisioned that the initial
phase of activity will invelve assimilation of data and a trip along the River
in early March. This will be followed by discussions with gravel operators,

and. finally, the soliciting of opinions from other interested parties.
